How To Get A Dark Tan Fast

Want to Achieve Your Deepest, Darkest Tan? Here’s How!

Planning a vacation and aiming for the deepest tan possible? Need to achieve a bronzed glow fast for a special event? We've got you covered! Here are the best tanning tips and tricks to help you develop a rich, deep tan in record time—plus a few secrets you might not have known!

Tip #1: Use a Pre-Tanner for Faster Results

Pre-tanner products help stimulate melanin production before your skin is even exposed to sunlight, preparing it to tan more deeply and quickly once you're in the sun. Earth Tan accelerators double as pre-tanners, priming your skin for optimal tanning results. The Coconut variety, free from colorants and bronzers, is perfect for everyday use.

Tip #2: Use Reflection to Your Advantage

Sunlight bounces off surfaces like water, sand, and reflective materials, helping to intensify your tan. Here’s how you can use reflection for a deeper glow:

• In or On the Water: Floating on a pool raft or swimming allows the water’s surface to reflect sunlight onto your skin. This method keeps you cool while maximizing your tan.

• By the Sand: Just like water, sand also reflects sunlight, boosting your tan as you relax on the beach.

Tip #3: Move While You Tan

If lying still isn’t your thing, you’re in luck! Physical activity increases blood circulation, keeping your skin hydrated and primed for tanning. Plus, moving around ensures the sun hits your body from different angles, leading to a more even tan.

Tip #4: Use a Tan Accelerator

For the fastest and deepest tan, a tan accelerator is your best friend. Earth Tan’s Carrot and Acacia accelerators work wonders, helping your skin tan faster while achieving a richer, golden hue. These products make tanning easier, enhance color depth, and extend the longevity of your tan.

Tip #5: Maintain Your Glow

A deep tan requires upkeep! Prevent your color from fading by tanning regularly and keeping your skin well-hydrated. Using an after-sun lotion or your favorite body moisturizer will help lock in moisture and maintain your glow. Tan extenders can also work wonders in prolonging your tan. Earth Tan products are specially formulated to extend your tan by up to 49% longer!

As always, please tan responsibly. Always use an SPF and check your skin regularly whilst tanning to avoid burning. Take regular breaks in the shade, and stay hydrated.
